General Cultivation Q&A

Hi guys and girls, firstly, want to say that this site is totally AWESOME!!! I've been a member for a while, and have been doing a lot of reading on this site from all the different forums, and also from a few good books, with the idea of starting a small grow--just a closet atm. I'm at the stage where I think I'm ready (YEY!), but am after some advice about which strains might be best to grow for smell. I'll be using a carbon filter for sure, but am keen for any extra advice you guys can give. Thanks heaps. H.

Hey Guys, Im hoping someone can help. I'm using coco as a medium in a basic run to waste set up, the pH level of the nute is set to 5.5-5.7 but the pH of the run off is a worrying 7.1-7.4! Its towards the end of veg and the leaves are displaying signs of element/s deficiency - (spots &/or speckled bleaching of the leaves and the older leaves are limp/tired looking) which is understandable if the pH at the root zone is so high. I thought flushing would resolve the problem but i flushed her yesterday and run off pH is still 7.2. I must admit that i have been lazy with my flushing because in my experience flushing hasn't been vital until their flowering when i increa…

It's called. Tell me what the hell type of cannabis I'm growing. They're from a friends random collection of seeds. Let the games begin. Thanks The darker one smells like coffee. I'll call it JavaBud if no one can identify it

Hey Ive been my clones have using coco to do my clones and for the most part it works very well but lately my clones have been showing mold or rot that starts on the outer leaf where it has been trimmed and in the tips of the clones. Just wondering if anyone else has had mold problems with their clones before and could i use an antifungal or something? thanks RR

Clearly I am new to this and I am saying that right now so take it easy on me here... So I wanna buy some for the first time. I know this one dude who is probably sittin on like a pound... Anywho, I don't wanna go to him and sound like I know as little as I do about the topic matter at hand (weed). 1. I want to buy alright stuff, nothing fancy...headys??? 2. I want enough to get high like 10 or 15 times but like 3. I don't want to spend more than $40-$45 4. I don't want to be scammed I understand the list is kind of arbitrary, vague, dare I say noobish. ny help is appreciated. thx

I have been smokeing for some years and I thought up this idea. This would be my first grow If I mixed up sand,soil,blood&bone compost-zing and some other goodies Watered this with diluted worm wee but still keep it at ph 6.5 No I don't want to do hydro!!! Then put a clone in each pot. will be getting clones from a local grower. Then put the plants inside in a room that gets a good amount of sun may need to do a test to see how meny hours. Here's my Q's 1) How offten should you water the plants and how much water? 2) How close do they need to be to the window? 3) Best way to kill bugs/mold? 4) Is glass best for the window or something different? All h…

I have discovered insect crap all over the bottom leaves of one of my plants in the grow cupboard and found 2 green catapillars that have been munching into some fan leaves and it gets worse most of the bottom branches have chucked out some male flowers and its about 7 weeks into flowering I'll be pulling this one in a week or 2 they are nearly ready. I had pollinated some of these bottom branches with WW pollen so god damn it now I will have hermie seeds amongst my hybrid seeds. Why the hell did it do this when it's just about ready for harvest??Did the caterpillars do this??

hi guys, i was reading thru some posts and came across a growing technique that was called lo stress. can anyone fill me in on what is low stress. it sorta sounds just like growing, to me. cheers phin.
